Hi everyone,
Some of you may remember I bought a ReadyNAS Pro last month. When I got it, the fan sounded like it was failing and was quite loud. After talking to Netgear support, I contacted Amazon and Amazon quickly issued a replacement to me. The second device, while quieter, was still quite noisy (well over the rated 25 dBA, as far as I can tell by comparing it to other similarly spec'ed devices, such as the Samsung hard disks I bought for it, which are rated at 27 dBA).
Anyway, I ended up returning both ReadyNAS Pro's.
Now, I'm thinking about taking the plunge again. The Synology 1010+ looks very tempting at its current prices on Amazon. Can anyone speak to its noise levels in comparison to the ReadyNAS Pro? On the spec sheet it looks good, but my experience with the ReadyNASes has left me skeptical about spec sheets.
Any other major thoughts on what I'm giving up or gaining by trying the 1010+ over my ill-fated Netgear devices?
Thanks,
Tim
